I just read Fred Franks' (commander of VII Coprs) account of the Safwan negotiations and signing in "Into the Storm". No mention of John Kerry or any politicians. Franks' description of that day at Safwan goes on for 8 pages, and many minute details are given.

There is a chart on page 466 of the book depicting the setup at Safan that day (3 March 1991, as Rokke has said). There is a "VIP" tent depicted on the map, but Franks mentions that "senior officers could go there to take a break if needed" (paraphrasing) - no mention of political VIPS being there.

I'll try to find "It doesn't take a Hero" next...
